| Description |
A site specific work, with the theme of loss. Images of anguish and absurdity abounded. A woman desperately cutting her clotheds off under a shower. Another woman convulsing in the upper storey of the derelict building. Blind lovers groping towards each other across the quadrangle. People pulling notes from beneath a dead man's body, reading them out and stepping back again. |
